Today, we woke up to the most beautiful view of Mt. Thielsen! We rolled out of the tent around 7:40. We had a lovely breakfast of oatmeal, coffee, and peanut M&M's; it was a well balanced breakfast. We hit the trail around 9:30. Once again, there was no sources of water for over ten miles from our camp site, excluding the snowfields. We hiked to Maidu Lake for dinner. It was absolutely picturesque! It looked like a Monet. We tried to swim in the lake, but it had a super muddy bottom. Rosie was brave enough to venture in the water, and quickly turned around because of the mud. In our attempts to swim the lake, we noticed our mosquito bitten legs and butts. We look like we have the chickenpox! Tomorrow, I will apply deet underneath my clothing.
Hiking Highlights:
- Met new hikers! One from Australia.
- Maidu Lake. Absolutely stunning.
- Hanging the bear-bag with more ease
